Scattered lightning storms will develop over east central Florida this afternoon, pushing offshore into tonight. The highest coverage is expected to be generally from Orlando southward. A few storms may become strong to marginally severe and the Storm Prediction Center has again highlighted much of the area in a Marginal Risk. The main threats with any stronger storms are frequent lightning strikes, gusty winds around 50 mph with a few gusts to 60 mph, large hail, and heavy downpours. Head inside at the first sign of lightning or thunder. Rainfall accumulations up to around 2 inches could lead to ponding on area roadways or in poor drainage areas. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A Moderate risk for life-threatening rip currents continues at area beaches. Check with the local beach patrol for additional information about ocean hazards and always heed the advice of lifeguards. Swim only within sight of a lifeguard and never enter the ocean alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Isolated to scattered lightning storms will continue over the local Atlantic waters into the afternoon. Additional storms that develop over the interior could drift back towards the coast south of the Cape this evening. A few storms could become strong to severe, especially over inland lakes south of metro Orlando. The main threats will be frequent lightning strikes, wind gusts to around 40 to 50 knots, and large hail. .WATERSPOUT IMPACT... Storms containing brief funnel cloud spinups or waterspouts will be possible within coastal areas of east Central Florida mainly south of Cape Canaveral. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY. High coverage of showers and lightning storms looks to continue into this weekend. A few storms will be strong to marginally severe through much of the workweek. Main threats will be gusty winds and hail. However, ponding water will be an increasing hazard into late week, as rounds of rainfall accumulate each day. A moderate risk of rip currents looks to continue through at least midweek. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should monitor the weather and self activate if needed. Schaper/Leahy
